“Fantastic experience with Thomas! He was so knowledgeable about the Palace and so friendly. He took us through a large portion of the Palace efficiently but never felt rushed and kept us engaged with all of his exciting stories. Then we had a wonderful full high tea across the street on the river Thames which was very nice and the tea was so delicate. After tea we were able to return to the Palace on our own and explore for several more hours. We had such a wonderful day! Definitely one of the best tours we have ever done.”
